"It's called battle planning."

Some time later, at the gate of Han'an Village, Tress with a frosty face suddenly appeared in a corner of the snowfield, and then stood in front of Duan Qing and Thousand Fingered Crane with a blank face in the surprised looks: "Pull out all the eyeliner in the surrounding villages and towns, and unite the forces of all parties by the way...... When that's all done, we're going to put the expulsion of the Restorationists on the agenda. ”

"Yes...... Is there an agenda for attacking Windflower Town? ”

"Windflower Town? It was not the base camp of the Restorationists. ”

Shaking his head slightly, Tress stretched out his finger and pointed to the east where they were: "The organization that calls itself the Magical Council should still be hidden in the small Andachel Mountains in the eastern part of the Wind Flower Plain, and in the eyes of those who have not done anything at all, Wind Flower Town is just an incidental product of their expansion......

"But the strategic importance there is very significant."

Pointing to the adventurer's manual in his hand, Duan Qing said in a serious voice: "The current alliance of the two countries has been waiting in the north of Fenghua Town, and they have not made the next move, according to my judgment...... They must have been afraid that they would be attacked on their backs, so they didn't continue to march east. ”

"Windflower Town is indeed the center of this battlefield, but our Mage Council has no intention of putting more effort into it." Tres Fao's voice was slow, "The purpose of the Mage Council is to deal with the threat to the Magic Empire, and we will only target the places where the rise of the Restorationists is most intense......"

"With all due respect, there's a good chance that Windflower will be the place where the Restorationists will put the most effort into next." Duan Qing lowered his eyebrows and interrupted the other party's words: "If we don't have your support for this battle plan, our chances of success will undoubtedly be much lower......

"If we hadn't supported this war, you might have died a clean death!" Tress's voice amplified by two points: "The Restorationists have sent several dangerous people on the list in a row, they are wreaking havoc in this land every day, and if it were not for the Grand Magician of the Council of Seven to sit in charge, the balance of this war would have tipped long ago!" ”

“…… In other words, her mentor is also busy fighting at the moment, isn't he? ”

“…… I do not know. ”

The tense air froze a little as Duan Qing confronted the magician, and then released again as he turned his head and sighed, and Tress who looked at the red-haired girl with a sad face then lowered his hand, and at the same time let go of the idea of continuing to refuse: "Lord Freya should still be fighting somewhere on Hulan Mountain, and I don't know the specific situation, but you can rest assured, those guys from the Restorationist shouldn't pose any threat to her......"

“……”

"I understand your eagerness to take back the homes of those townspeople, and I support you in doing so." Facing the silence of the players, the mage waved his staff slightly, "But if you want us to participate...... Well, with the current shortage of manpower......"

"Since your task is so heavy, how about we share some of it for you first?" Facing the muttering magician, Duan Qing suddenly proposed in a low voice: "Equivalent exchange is a law that adventurers have always liked to follow, but this time there is a sequence of help......

“…… Do you want to help us? Tress's eyebrows raised unexpectedly: "Just the strength of your people?" ”

"Our strength and level should have been proven in previous missions." Duan Qing smiled and looked at the mountains behind him: "Do you want to report to you about our mission report for the past few days?" Or describe what Tins Forest looks like? ”

"Tinslin? You actually went to Tinslin? Then Tress's expression became even more exciting: "Such a dangerous place...... How did you get there? ”

A unique small combat meeting finally ended in this way, and then turned into a boasting meeting between adventurers, even the Thousand Fingered Crane and Falling Dream, who had been standing by without saying a word, finally began to open their eyes because of Duan Qing's description of the strange forest, and Tress, who had been listening attentively to Duan Qing's adventure, also kept nodding his head, and at the same time kept admiring the bone equipment that Duan Qing handed over from time to time, until he heard the other party describe the furnace, His eyes gradually lit up: "I see...... Is that the thing? ”

"We don't know exactly what it was for, but we think it's something that the Restorationists want to occupy." Duan Qing responded indifferently: "We'll hang up at the end...... Before fleeing from that place, they also found a lot of restorers, but they must have died at the hands of those ancient beasts, and the last burst of energy......"

"The aftermath of that energy fluctuation is far from over."

The end of the staff handle made a few curved marks on the snow, and Tris's voice also deepened: "Many of my colleagues, including me, also wanted to go to the location of that energy source later, but it is now surrounded by a huge energy field, and even a person of the Great Mage level is inaccessible......"

"Yes...... Some kind of defense? Thinking back to the mechanical sound he heard by the furnace before the temporary time, Duan Qing asked with an unnatural expression, "The kind that no one can enter?" ”

"Probably." Tress continued to swipe his movements: "But according to your description, it may indeed be some kind of 'cutting-edge technology' left over from the ancient magic empire, and the self-defense mechanism activated by the severe shock......"

That is to say...... Can we put it there for a while now? Duan Qing's eyes then looked at the skyline where the mountain was located: "No one can enter now, and I don't know when it will be repaired......"

"But the Restorationists are still converging in that direction." Tress shook her head slowly: "If your description is not wrong...... That would be the center they wanted to take next. ”

"The battlefield will tilt in the direction of Hulan Mountain." He looked at the trajectories he had drawn with his staff, and sighed slightly: "Our strategy...... Looks like it's going to change. ”

"Let's go back to what we were talking about at the beginning." Duan Qing also showed a confident smile: "I also have Lord Freya's apprentice by my side, a few magicians of equal strength to me, and three whole adventure groups behind me - can these powers reach the level of being able to help you?" ”

"Hmm......"

His eyes paused for a while in the village behind Duan Qing, and the corners of Tress's mouth slowly curled: "Help each other...... Right? ”

"That's right, help each other." Duan Qing smiled slightly: "We'll help you solve this seemingly bigger trouble, and you can help us solve the problem of Fenghua Town...... How about this deal? ”

“…… A very equal deal in terms of strength and return. ”

The curved lines drawn under his feet began to glow slightly, and Tres lowered his head and sighed, "Since you want to be involved so much......"

"Then wait for my news."

An inconspicuous light flashed next to the village, which still reverberated with the sound of the bustling crowd, and then disappeared into the vast snowfield along with the figure of the magician who surrounded it.

****************************

The commission issued on behalf of the Mage Council was quickly handed over to Duan Qing.

Handing over the rest of the transfer tasks to Kidd, Duan Qing quickly left the western part of this snowfield with the others, and then under the guidance of the Mage Council conveyed to them in various ways, he got together with the combined army that rushed to the north of Fenghua Town, and a series of various observations and stories also slowly unfolded along the way forward, extending outward along the northwest front of Fenghua Town, and the sporadic battles also spread to the surrounding area like an inexhaustible wildfire as the destination approached.

Among them are many players who have already joined the Restoration, as well as many people with familiar faces.

"The people of the rivers and lakes have touched this side again! Prepare for battle! ”

"What? Devil's Paradise stole our supply van again? Are you all foodies, how many times do you have to suffer the same loss? ”

"Report, report! A large number of Liberator troops have been found in the southwest, and there are also suspected boss-level characters among them! The people of Arashiyama have already withdrawn first! ”

"The latest news, the new round of attacks by the Sword of Justice has still not been organized, if it weren't for a few small guilds next to them to take the top, the coalition defensive front in the east might have been routed by the enemy's backhand......"

"The fortifications near the manor have been built."

Walking together on the road to the camp where the coalition forces were, the large army led by Duan Qing had been picked up by a guide sent by the Mage Council at this time, and the person responsible for leading them to the center of the camp was also a mage player: "This piece is in charge of Tingyulou, and the people of Dawn Glory are in charge of the east side, although I don't know if it can play a role, but at least let their own people stay here......"

"It's really a hodgepodge, people from every country have it." Duan Qing sighed and shook his head: "Aren't they afraid of conflicts between each other?" ”

"In fact...... There have indeed been many contradictions. The magician replied with a wry smile, "Quelling the problems between these player forces has always been something we have been busy with for a while, otherwise no matter how powerful the machine is, it will collapse from the inside, but fortunately, the enemy in front of us is strong enough to keep an eye on them......"

"Judging from the comparison of forces on the player side, the forces on our side are obviously a cut worse, right? Outside of the guild of Wings of Freedom, the only ones we need to deal with are the Restorationists who can be treated as powerful mobs...... By the way, which guild are you from? ”

"That's, that'...... I'm a ...... from Vizzard."

"Vizad's? Has the Floating Dream also come to this place? And is there a person named Ototake in your guild, who has been looking for Falling Dream before...... Hey? What about people? ”

"Aha...... Maybe it's lost, the military master himself has been very busy in the past few days, and we don't know where his specific location is......"

It was like being outside a market that stretched for thousands of miles, Duan Qing and his friends just watched one player after another pass by him, and then with all kinds of tasks and call signs, constantly entering and exiting the dangerous battlefield, and the mountain city of Fenghua Town in the distance also appeared in front of them again with the approaching distance, but the peaceful appearance that originally belonged to it had been completely broken, and the sound of explosions with faint fire also followed their passing, From time to time, it can be seen among the snowfields near the mountain town.

The re-encounter with Christine took place in such an environment.

"Ah...... Dear adventurers. ”

Turning around in front of several magicians, Christine, who was still wearing a gorgeous blue robe, showed a warm smile on her face, and then left behind the figures that seemed to be talking to her, and slowly floated in front of Duan Qing: "Since the last time Tania separated, I have been looking forward to the opportunity to meet you again, I thought that I would not appear in this war, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to find the door......"

"Welcome to this ball."

She spread her hands, and the smile that filled her face then changed to a gentle smile: "I hope you ...... You can make a beautiful memory here. ”

"That's not a good sign, because we're not strong."

His eyes sneaked a glance at the few figures behind her for a while, and Duan Qing bent down with a wry smile on his face: "Even if you leave a memory...... I'm afraid it won't be much better. ”

"You're a party to the bargain, a collaborator of the Mage's Council."

Blinking at Duan Qing, Christine, who was spinning up, pinched the corner of the blue robe: "The content conveyed by Tress has been discussed by our Mage Council, and your strength has been affirmed by us, and the assistance you can provide...... It's one of the things we've been looking forward to. “

“…… Yes? ”

"What you've done in Free City, Shanaido has told us."

Stretching out her right arm to Duan Qing, who had just straightened up in surprise, Christine performed a magician's standard etiquette with a slightly solemn face: "Please allow me to express our gratitude once again on behalf of the Mage Council." ”

"Thank you for saving her."

The sunset sun was about to set and sprinkled between the long aqua blue hair that hung down, and at the same time sprinkled on the shocked eyes of several magicians who were originally standing behind the graceful woman, and the players who were still shuttling around them, they slowly gathered together, and then followed Christine's movements, and lowered their heads in unison.
